This document discusses food insecurity in protracted crisis countries like Afghanistan. It notes that Afghanistan experiences conflict, post-conflict, and protracted crisis issues, providing opportunities to address challenges in other countries. Improving food security requires a multi-stakeholder partnership approach including governments, communities, farmers, and research institutions. Capacity development is also important over short, medium, and long terms at individual, institutional, and community levels through training, follow-up support, and enabling environments. Next steps include following outcomes from a workshop on cooperation between protracted crisis countries, initiating a pilot project on capacity development using multi-stakeholder partnerships.
